If people don't want to pray, then don't pray. Just don't tell those of us that choose to that we are somehow offending you with our prayers. We have the right to pray anywhere, anytime, and in front of anyone. I am offended by a lot of behavior that others engage in, prayer is a personal freedom that hurts no one.

Let's get a few things straight. I am not opposed to a person engaging in public prayer. I AM opposed to government sponsored prayer ..such as school prayer. The government has no business telling anyone who to pray to..or when to pray to them. Does anyone really need the president telling them when to pray?

If the owner of a business decides to call his employees to pray, I have no problem with it. Unless...people who do not answer the call to prayer are punished for their actions. An employee of a company has no RIGHT to call a public prayer meeting on company time.

No one wants to force someone to pray. All I am saying is everyone, be he president or MacDonald's fry cook CAN pray anytime, anywhere, and there is no law against the president praying. If people don't want a president that prays then vote for one that doesn't. This country was founded by praying men, men that died to be able to pray.
